Children can LONDON—Young children can influence their parents to wear seat belts, according to the find- ings of an experimental program conducted by the Ontario Depart- ment of Transportation and Com- munications. Ed Brezina, head of the depart- ment's safety research section, told a road safety workshop here recently that last October 5,400 children in grades two and three were exposed to a special two- hour program of seat belt educa- tion. "A few weeks later we found that the rate of seat belt use by parents of children exposed to the program increased two to three tithes. This demonstrates con- vincingly, I think, that drivers can be persuaded to buckle up by informed children." The pilot program, conducted in 23 schools in North York and Scarborough, involved children in the . use of film, play-acting, drawing, posters, crash simula- tions on the restraint benefits of belts, and individual practice in influence parents to: wear belts buckling and adjusting belts. In North York, the driving hab- its of parent§ were checked six weeks later - at a shbpping man. Of 633 parents observed, 280 had children who had received the education program. "Sixteen percent of these par- ents wore •seat belts, compared with only seven percent of par- ents whose children had not been exposed to the seat belt pro– gram," Mr. Brezina explained. In Scarborough, the seat belt habits of 96 parents attending parent-teachermeetings were observed. • "Twenty percent of parents whose children received seat belt education wore belts, compared with only seven percent of par- ents whose children were not'ek- posed." -' Mr. Brezina commented that eventually all -drivers will be pro- vided with injury reduction sys tems of -sone kind or another and many ill still require favourable acceptance by the driver.
